  The graduating exercises of the Apprentice School of R. Hoe & Co. the 
oldest institution of its kind in this country were held  last night at the 
De Witt Memorial Church, 280 Rivington street. This school was the first 
technical school established in the United States by any manufacturing concern.

  Prizes were awarded to those who stood at the head of their respective 
classes. 
J. G. AUPERIN received the first prize, which was a very fine gold watch. 

Other prize winners were 
P. METZKOW, 
A.J. NIELSON,
W. PFEFFER, 
W. R. JEFFREYS, 
P. HUBER, 
M.W. BUCHMAN
E. CLADEL. 

  The R. Hoe & Co's Apprentice School is maintained by that firm solely at 
their own expense in connection with the system of apprenticeship maintained 
by them in their works for teaching young men the trade of machinist and 
other trades pursued in their printing press factory on Grand street. It was 
said last night that the school year just finished had been the most 
successful in the history of the school in the quality of the work done by 
the young men and in the progress attained.
